A few weeks ago, I got the chance to go to the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) annual conference in Seattle. It was a great experience. Not only did I get the chance to promote Poictesme at a table, I got to visit interesting panels, collect great literature, and see many interesting people. While I perused the hundreds of tables, I grabbed many flyers calling for submissions to literary publications and journals from all over America. I went through the flyers and compiled a list of the various organizations that I could feasibly submit to, but I felt that this is such a valuable list that I feel it’s important to share with as many people as I can.

Below, you will see a list of the many organizations that are open for submissions. Here is what is included:

The name of the organization, with a link to their website for more information.

What kind of work they are looking for. Most of these places want prose and poetry, but some are very specific about what they want. Some are also looking for art submissions, so artists should follow up for more information. Some publications are very specific about what they want, and if there’s any particular details about what they’re looking for, I’ll list them. Otherwise, check the links for more information.

The deadline for submissions. This list is will be organized with the upcoming deadlines first, then later deadlines after. The ones that have no deadlines will be listed at the very bottom. There are also some organizations that have passed their deadlines since I originally compiled this list, so I will still leave the link to the organization in case anyone would like to have the information for the group.

If you have to pay to submit. Some places do want a reading fee for any work, which averages between $10-$15. Some of these groups use Submittable, a website for collecting submissions. Those that use that cost $3 per submission. Some will only charge if you submit online, while others will only take mail submissions, meaning you will probably have to only pay for postage. Lastly, there are groups that do not charge for submission, so don’t worry. Generally, the more work they want from you, the more you’ll have to pay, unless they use Submittable.
